ABOUT MATCHUP
A different starting point.
MatchUp is a specialist security recruitment agency. We take the time to understand the people and the roles behind every brief, so the match is right the first time.
OUR STORY
Why MatchUp was founded
MatchUp was founded in 2021 from first-hand experience of the pressures security organisations face. Keeping sites covered is constant work, reactive recruitment rarely gets the best results, and screening is too often treated as a separate process.
We bring recruitment, screening and workforce resourcing closer together, so organisations can make more considered decisions about the people they rely on.
Our Principles
Specialists
We know vetted roles well, understand their challenges and the importance of finding the right people for the right roles.
Clarity
We believe in clear communication, honest advice and keeping you informed throughout the process.
Standards
We follow the standards the industry depends on, BS7858 included, and don't cut corners to save time.
Relationships
We take the time to understand the people and businesses we work with, building relationships that go beyond a single placement or assignment.

Zoe
DIRECTOR
Zoe founded MatchUp in 2021, drawing on more than nine years' experience across screening, operations and staffing within the security industry. She has a practical understanding of the challenges security organisations face, and of how much depends on getting recruitment and screening right from the outset.
She set up MatchUp to take a more considered approach to recruitment and workforce resourcing, built on understanding requirements, assessing suitability and building strong relationships. Today, Zoe leads the strategic direction of the business and makes sure the principles it was founded on stay central as it grows.
